A day at the Italian table, from the bar at dawn to dessert at dusk. Start with a cornetto or a slice of crostata, graze through antipasti from Rome's supplì to Liguria's focaccia di Recco. Then eat the proper way: a primo of carbonara, cacio e pepe or risotto alla Milanese, followed by a secondo ossobuco, with caponata or parmigiana on the side. Finish with tiramisu, cannoli or panna cotta. The recipes are regional, the portions generous and the pace unhurried.
